On the Way to Normandy: What Are Those Yellow Flowers?

Well, I thought I would be able to write about our trip as we were taking it. Alas, it was too hard to get online to write and I could not upload any pictures. Luckily, I did keep a cahier with me so I could write.  Now, I can share.

Once we got past Paris, the highway opened up, and we started to see some amazing countryside.  France is primarily rural and agricultural.  As the kilometres passed, we began to see field after field filled with these yellow flowers.  What were they?  Tim and I guessed mustard. 

Wrong, they are colza flowers or rapeseed from which canola oil is made. 

Amazing.
